Man dont get caught taking shad out of the susky. Big Fine. Last week DNR had officers out at the mouth of Deer Creek, the Base of the Conowingo dam and in Havre de Grace at the same time.

To my knowledge it is only White and Hickory Shad that are illegal to take. Gizzard Shad (sometimes called Mud Shad) are considered a junk fish in most circles. I thought they might make good bait on the beach. It doesn't look like we are going to have much of a Herring run this year, or else I missed it.

Not to hijack the thread but in Potomac the hickories are still there but beginning to tail off. I caught a bunch of hickories on Sunday and today went out on the river and caught several whites and a couple of hickories. They are a blast!
